Re: simple choose : when problem

Try:

<xsl:variable name='unit' select="'mm'"/>

Note the single quotes around mm, which makes the results of the expression
a string, not a nodeset.

Hi all

This is another choose:when problem.  Just to test the validity of my
choose:when I written the following xslt segment.
I would expect the output of this segment be MileMay. But to my surprise
its
M3.

<xsl:variable name='unit' select="mm"/>
<xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when test="$unit='mm'">
                     MileMay
           </xsl:when>
           <xsl:when test="$unit='cm'">
                     Count Mile
           </xsl:when>
           <xsl:otherwise>M3</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

What have I done wrong here?
